Natgen Development Trusts provide investors with the opportunity to access the potential returns usually only available to large-scale property development groups.

Essentially, investors in the trust stand in the shoes of the property developer, only with the advantage of having the Natgen development team, with their experience and processes, by their side. We provide a complete development management service through the entire lifecycle of the trust, including site identification, risk managed site acquisition, planning and budgeting, project delivery and divestment of the finished product.

For a modest outlay, you can invest in a Natgen Development Trust, developing assets such as industrial and commercial warehouses, self storage facilities, and other specialty assets.

Development Site Walkthroughs

Benefits of investing in a Natgen Development Trust include:
  • Access to development opportunities – We are constantly undertaking surveillance of the market to identify gaps and to match these gaps with qualified development sites.
  • Development Expertise – The Natgen development team consists of industry professionals with decades of high-level property development experience.
  • Australian Financial Services License – Ensuring full compliance with managed investments and investor protection laws. Not all development investment opportunities in the market meet these standards!
  • Development Profits – The returns from Natgen Development Trusts aim to be higher than returns from more passive property investments. At the close of a trust term, any capital/development profits that have been achieved over the life of the fund will be distributed to unitholders.
  • Non-recourse borrowing – Due to our size and structure we can borrow on advantageous terms. The Financier will have no recourse to any Investor personally or to the other assets of any Investor.
  • Taxation Benefits – The Natgen trust structure allows investors to take advantage of the depreciation benefits available for commercial property. Income distributions will usually be fully or partially tax sheltered.
